En celebración del Día Internacional del Libro Infantil, únase a nosotros para conocer la poco conocida colección de libros en español para niños y jóvenes de Newberry, y aprenda sobre la importancia de la literatura infantil en la discusión de temas sociales y emocionales críticos. Para los cuidadores y educadores, estos libros sirven para abrir la conversación sobre temas serios que afectan a los niños de todo el mundo, incluida la migración, el matrimonio forzado y la diversidad de género.

La conversación se llevará a cabo entre representantes de Newberry, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México-Chicago, y la editorial Ediciones El Naranjo.

 

Joan DeJean and Jack McCord use maps from the Newberry collection to recreate the European settlement of the vast territory in North America that the French named Louisiana, and to tell the story of one remarkable woman, Marie Baron. Moderated by Public Programs Manager, Emily Ponchelle.

 

A conversation with PENGO and EAST, two first-generation Midwest graffiti writers, as they explore the evolution and development of Chicago-style graffiti.

In the 1980s and 90s, PENGO and EAST helped pioneer the iconic Chicago-style of graffiti writing, recognizable by its structure, balance, and flow. Drawing on their extensive experience, they will discuss the different elements that influenced Chicago’s unique graffiti style and, in turn, how Chicago has influenced other scenes over the years. This conversation is moderated by artist and curator Dulce María Díaz.

 

In this installment of “Conversations at the Newberry,” two historians, Kathleen Belew and Erika Lee, share their research on the long histories of American identity, offering fresh perspectives on the forces that seek to expand or narrow understandings of what it means to be American.
